You missed my point.
If Donkey's assumption were correct (#posts is a reliable indicator someone is paid to post here) then the Monteroy account should have been abandoned years ago (regardless of what other accounts he may hold) and no paid shill should ever have a noteworthy amount of posts in this thread. Particularly since this argument has been used many times before (Donkey is not original).
If anything, a whole bunch of posts in this thread would be counter-indicative of being a shill. Unless someone's gone seriously second level. But that seems really unlikely due to A) Unnecessary overkill and management overhead - Riggies won't listen to any non-riggies, regardless of reputation, logic or argument so establishing someone's credentials as "not a shill" (many riggies think everyone is a shill anyway) is worthless and B) The riggy assumption that sites are idiots when it comes to implementing and disguising a rig (with easy to spot
and prove rigs like too many monster hole cards, AA getting cracked way too often especially by KK, etc) so why wouldn't they also be idiots when it comes to astroturfing?
Of course, the entire line of reasoning ignores the fact that shilling this thread is obviously counter-productive if any site cares about "handling" this thread. Anti-riggies are routinely all that keep this thread going. Without them it often drops well past the front page. And the number of riggies educated by this thread is minute. Additionally, it's also clear that for the vast majority of riggies it doesn't matter how much they post here or whine about bad beats - They keep playing anyway.
